The strong positions taken by Mt. Sinai's Irving J. Selikoff Center For Occupational & Environmental Medicine on behalf on injured and ill September 11th responders has subjected them to a hail of criticism which ironically is more or less identical to that leveled at Dr. Selikoff himself when he began campaigning against reckless exposure of workers and citizens to asbestos. I've been treated by the Selikoff Center for job injuries and I've used their expertise in asbestos litigation. See you Saturday Morning.
Wholesale Thrift Shopping Saturday All Day Housing Works presents their monthly $20 bag sale at its Long Island City, Queens warehouse. For those old enough to remember, it's a through-back to Klein's Basement. People paw over jumbled piles of merchandise. Modesty is forgotten as there are no changing facilities. The bags hold more than most anyone can use. So come with friends and share or do as I did: share with strangers. The last time I went I got a leather jacket, brand new running shoes, a fishing vest and 5 dress shirts for $10 and there was still room in the bag.
WAREHOUSE SALE
48-49 35th St, Long Island City, NY It's easy to get to by subway or bicycle.
Bike Yourself Silly Sunday Transportation Alternatives sponsors the NYC Century with guided, supported tours of 15, 35, 55, 75 and 100 miles. The starting point is 110th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. TA benefits from the fee and there is same day registration. If you go, I suggest you ask them to let you ride for less than the official price. I will be helping other riders and snacking at the many rest stops. Look for me in the red helmet.
